The bond between nitrogen atoms in an N2 molecule is stronger than the bond between oxygen atoms in an O2 molecule. However, bond energies for the same atom vary with formulas of compounds, so that there is no answer to this question that is correct for every compound of these two elements.

Which element has the greater bond energy oxygen or notrogen?
Oxygen has the greater bond energy.
What are the three cycles that move through the ecosystem?
Oxygen, energy, and reproduction.
Can nitrogen catch on fire?
No. It would be very bad for us if they did, ad out atmosphere is mostly nitrogen and oxygen. Nitrogen will react with oxygen, but only at high temperatures, and the process actually absorbs more energy than it gives out.
What atmospheric factors interact to cause weather?
heat energy,moisture,oxygen,&nitrogen
Why do the protons and electrons make oxygen and nitrogen molecules glow?
Protons merely define the number of electrons you have, beyond this they are not important. electrons about atoms exist that various energy stages known as quantums. When an electron goes from one quantum to another it either absorbs or releases energy. There are many many quantums available to any electron but their exact values are dependent on the number of protons at the atoms nucleolus. Every element therefore has its own unique 'ladder' of quantums. Now if you pump energy into oxygen and nitrogen atoms (or any element for that matter) (such as shining high energy light on them) then electrons will jump from a low energy quantum to a high energy quantum depending on the energy in the light supplied. If the light supplied is of a high energy character such as UV light then the electron skips several of the intermediate quantums and go shooting up the ladder to the appropriate high energy state. Once in a high energy state the electron now attempt to return to the low energy state from which they came. Now they could just simply release the same energy that took them up to the high energy state and return the same type of light that was shone upon them - or they could cascade down through all the intermediate energy levels and release light of various different frequencies. If the light you shine on the oxygen and nitrogen molecules (or any element for that matter) is of an invisible light such as UV and the light that is release is in the visible specturm then the Oxygen and Nitrogen atoms appear to glow of their own accord.
Which element has the greater bond energy oxygen or notrogen?
Oxygen has the greater bond energy.
What element has the largest first ionization energy Oxygen Boron Nitrogen or Carbon?
Oxygen
Why During combustion in air carbon sulfur and other non metals combines with oxygen not with nitrogen which is about 78 percent?
The bond between the two atoms in a nitrogen molecule is much stronger than the bond between the two atoms in an oxygen molecule. Therefore, the free energy change driving a reaction with oxygen is usually greater for reaction with oxygen, and the activation energy barrier is always lower, allowing the reaction with oxygen to proceed more rapidly, despite the greater concentration of nitrogen.
Which element has a greater ionization out of Li and O?
Oxygen (1313,9 kJ/mol) has a greater ionzation energy than lithium (520,2 kJ/mol).
What is most important element for respiration?
carbon oxygen hydrogen nitrogen
Is oxygen a form of energy?
NO, it is not a form of energy. It is an element.
What does not travel through matter?
Energy nitrogen and oxygen
What element with 5 electrons is in the outer energy level?
Nitrogen.
Does nitrogen have a higher bond energy than oxygen?
yes
Is the average kinetic energy per molecule the same for oxygen and nitrogen molecules in air at a given temperature?
Oxygen and nitrogen have equal average kinetic energy per molecule at room temperature. This is assuming that both oxygen and nitrogen molecules are in fact at room temperature.
Why is the ionization energy of oxygen less than that of nitrogen even if oxygen is to the right hand side of nitrogen?
half filled P orbitals increase the stability resulting in higher ionization energy
What are the three cycles that move through the ecosystem?
Oxygen, energy, and reproduction.
